Another bad week. Only Sinton
saved us from a white washing. We
lost on the Bobcats, SMU and
Odem.
For this week, with not knowing
many of the scheduled games we’re
saying:
Flour Bluff over Refugio; Rock-
port over Woodsboro (hope we’re
wrong on those two); and Port Ar-
thur over Corpus Christi (and we
won’t mind being wrong on that
one, either).
* •
Despite the first game of the
series, we’re still taking Detroit
to win the World Series.

“Butch” Barton realized a long
standing ambition Monday night
when he took a Refugio team to
Woodsboro and beat the Woodsboro
team. “Butch” doesn’t like the
way their little pitcher smiles after
standing you on your head with
his change of pace. A prisoner of
the Japs for some time, the chap is
now attending school at Woodsboro
and is a nice hurler. The two clubs
play again next Tuesday night.

TNISREGARDING his own safety when a Merchant Marine vessel
■L' struck an enemy mine in a heavy sea which broke the ship in
half, Third Assistant Engineer Francis C. Rack carried his Chief on
deck after all usable lifeboats had shoved off. Seeing an empty boat
adrift, Rack dove into the sea and swam to it. He managed to propel
it to the sinking ship and transferred the Chief Engineer. Rack was
awarded a distinguished service medal. When seamen show such cour-
age in using equipment that War Bonds helped to provide, Americans
know that their investment in Bonds never can be big enough.

Ordinary room heaters have
served a good purpose, but just as the horse and buggy have
been replaced by the automobile, ordinary heating equipment is
being replaced by newer, improved types, which are more fully
protecting the health of the family and preventing damage to
Walls and furniture.
Our winters are damp, and regular type heaters cause conden-
sation, known as house sweating.” To eliminate this condition
we recommend the installation of modern ADEQUATE, VENTED,
and AUTOMATIC heating equipment.
VENTED heating equipment passes the moisture, which is a
product of all combustion, to the outside air through a vent
This reduces "house sweating" to a large extent.
To eliminate "house sweating" further, the heating unit must
be ADEQUATE. Condensation can't take place where all areas
within the home are kept at an even temperature, so when
ADEQUATE heating is used, all surfaces are warm and there's
no opportunity for damp air to condense.
[To do the complete job, however, AUTOMATIC heating is
necessary. By this method a small, inexpensive thermostat con-
trols the temperature in your home 24 hours a day. Winter colds
and other illnesses, which are caused by quick changes in tem-
perature, are no longer a problem. With AUTOMATIC heating
you enjoy, to the maximum, the benefits of the world's finest
fuel—Natural Gas.
' Many dealers offer ADEQUATE - VENTED - AUTOMATIC
gas heating equipment, and there is a type for your home,
.whether it be large or small. AVA heating is adaptable to any
floor plan, and it may be installed in your attic, closet, floor, or
an adjoining garage. When you buy, there is only one thing to
remember—insist on ADEQUATE - VENTED - AUTOMATIC
heating equipment,
